The fabrication and characterization of a Schottky-emitter heterojunction-collector UV-enhanced bipolar phototransistor （SHBT） are presented. The luminescence peak of the ZnO film is observed at 371nm in the PL spectrum. The sensitivity of the ultraviolet response from 200 to 400nm is enhanced noticeably, and the spectrum response at wavelengths longer than 400nm is also retained, The experiments show that the Au/n-ZnO/p-Si SHBT UV enhanced phototransistor enhances the sensitivity of the ultraviolet response noticeably. The UV response sensitivity at 370nm of the phototransistor is 5-10 times that of a ZnO/Si heterojunction UV enhanced photodiode.
